Abstract
"From a climate change point of view, the overall goal is to stabilize the atmospheric concentration of CO2 at as low a level as possible. This can partly be achieved by stopping deforestation, which is responsible for some 18% of carbon emissions to the atmosphere. But REDD is not intended to stop deforestation. A detailed analysis shows that ‘reducing emissions from deforestation’ is actually a dramatically different approach that could have significant negative impacts on people, on biodiversity and even on our climate." (p. 5)
